Phoenix Livestock separates livestock into Types. Typically these will be Cattle, Sheep, etc or can be more specific such as Trade Cattle, Breeding Cattle, etc. How you choose to categorise your livestock is entirely up to you. These livestock types will then be broken into Classes.
With an active Livestock subscription animals can be itemised by 'Animal Type'. Colours and patterns can be assigned to each animal type to allow quick identification at a glance. These Animal Types are used on the Grazing Chart making it simpler to read. •From within the Livestock module, click Setup on the drop-down menu and select Animal Types.
